Hello! Announced months ago and a few weeks ago starting to trickle through the market, Kidrobot hits a huge home run with their brilliant mini-figure series of The Simpsons. Together with Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Kidrobot created 24 characters, from Homer to Itchy & Scratchy to Sideshow Bob, measuring 3-inches tall and retailing for $7.95.

A young Japanese anime fan takes on Western animation kings The Simpsons, converting them into a hyper-glowing anime-style community who you know are just waiting to bring out the tentacles, spiked gloves and techno-pop. I love the deviant look of most of the characters, most of whom look ready to shoot you with some sort of experimental apocalyptic near-future heat laser gun.
